Sydney to Newie...

Yeah!!! We're in Sunny Sydney!!! Touched down on Thursday night. We rented a car for one day and decided on a whim to drive up to Newcastle to visit Paul. Here we go on the road once again... Smiley driver EVERY single time we go on a road trip, we end up going through a navigational nightmare (perhaps because I am the navigator?) Arrrghhhh!!! We're LOST!!! And we can't seem to even get OUT of Sydney, much less get on the freeway to Newcastle... Finally after going a few circles around Sydney, we made it OUT in one piece onto the Sydney-Newcastle freeway... Stopped at McDonalds along the way... french fries and milkshakes always help to put a smile back on faces... Here we are at Paul's student accomodation...

DSC06501A_thumb[1]Three Questions

And so Nathan’s very first day of kindergarten is over. It was a mixture of good, bad, sweet and sour. I think that so much happens throughout the day, it can be challenging for a little person to filter through it all.

DSC05282My cup runneth over

These days my days are packed full to the brim. From the moment I wake up to the sound of Grace calling through the baby monitor and Nathan’s cheeky face peering at me over the edge of the bed… to the evening when I finally tuck them into bed and say goodnight.
